CQ71 bios fix

[RethoricalCheese]

I have a CQ71 with a faulty BIOS. Laptop will not turn on with original nios.

When I used another bios dump or downloaded bios straight from HP, it did turn on but was missing some menus in bios and it would not find HDD. Theres no bios menu to change HDD settings but old (broken) bios had those options.

Could somebody fix original bios?

I used that dump to get the laptop working but it was missing menus.
